If Dalton went to AEW I'd demand the license " I want it all" by Queen to replace his pretty sweet knock off of it.

They could gently caress him over by releasing him a day early then, forcing the no-compete, couldn't they?

Aren’t the no-competes also contingent on getting paid your downside guarantee? Like, you could go compete right away but you don’t get that free pay.

Cody responds to someone complaining that he's against unions now, which I never remember him explicitly talking about before anyway, and it was a good insight into his thoughts on the whole thing.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Like, they're a promotion not a stable. They need lots of people at different levels.

Besides, didn't the Bullet Club/Elite reach saturation point a long time ago BEFORE they did the Hollywood/Elite split? I just assumed Tama Tonga and King Fale were running around all "OG BLACK AND WHITE, MAN!" as half parody.

I mean, Jeff Jarrett and Scott D'Amore were let in the Bullet Club.

"Stevie Ray" had to happen somewhere between Cody Hall and Captain New Japan, right?

I just posted that silly question because of the way they said they don't care where you come from as long as you are an ELITE ATHLETE and I thought that was funny

Imagine a promotion with only main event level talent

Yeah, I just thought it was funny because of how clearly the Bullet Club mirrored the nWo life to the performance art point where I'm just trying to figure out how they do the black and silver and WWE runs.

It think its fairly obvious that Cody supports the broad ideas of a union but is too much of a politician to say the word, especially now that his career and business aspirations are being directly backed by a corporate billionaire.

The WWE run is arguably already done. Finn/AJ and the Good Brothers. It worked about as well too.

Otherwise it'll be in like 5 years when Omega and the Bucks sign either after getting too old/broken down to work as top guys in AEW or AEW has collapsed into a black hole as the new TNA.

It only gets sillier but a little more easy to digest if you're like me and assume its like 75% performance art. Its like a Civil War re-enactment with less racism.

I honestly don't know what your point is? Maybe I missed it, but I at no point ever remember hearing Cody say that AEW would unionize wrestling. I've only heard him respond to people suggesting the idea which has turned into him somehow being a liar.

Yeah, somewhere along the line the Bucks are gonna team up with like a broke down Samoa Joe and Jack Swagger or something and call themselves "BC" and its gonna be really uncomfortable but also hilarious. Something like that.
